Through the clouds
Another step, another step...
To summit together
As a group of friends.
Legs may tremble,
Heads will hang
But through the clouds
We shall ascend.
Can't turn back,
Don't look down
Raise your gaze
To meet the crown.
Another step, another step
Till we rest between summit and sky,
For us, for friends,
We walk as one with steady stride.

"The summit cannot be seen",
what possibly can this mean?
There's always a certain goal;
vivid visions all should see
mere high bows to certainty.
Climbing for a brighter day,
will we likely lose our way?
This summit seems but a dream;
insights hit a sudden stop
finally finding the top.
Together hearts beat as one,
getting closer to the sun.
Truth in the heart, our best guide;
freed from fears of "I" and "mine",
ego takes a steep decline.
Blinded by sheer willfulness,
longings towards consciousness.
We will cling to what is dear;
our soaring spirit shall speak,
when we stagger up this peak.
Emerging through clouds on high,
new vistas to mount nearby.
Victory's a fleeting flame;
inner thoughts fade in thin air,
as one arrives, nothing's there.

Clouds within reach
The world sits at your feet
Snow covered peaks
Mountains stand guard over all
Their watch is long
The have seen it all
Times come and go
They remain far from it all
I want to climb your walls
To get away from it all
To hear the voices of nature
Whisper to me when I stand
Tall on the summit

many people wished to know why president Macron
was denied to participate to Brics summit
in South Africa.
Could he spy on them?
Was he thinking to join Brics?
Could he interrupt the summit with his personal agendas?
President Putin could not participate to the summit
as the International Criminal Court was pushing
South African officials to arrest him which could interrupt the Brics summit.
Brazil’s president " Lula da Silva" called on Wednesday
for the Brics nations to create a common currency
for trade and investment between each other,
as a means of reducing their vulnerability
to dollar exchange-rate fluctuations.
BRICS formally announced Iran,
Saudi Arabia, UAE, Argentina,
Egypt and Ethiopia as full
members starting from
January next year.
President of South Africa received many appreciations
for the good role of negotiator and organiser
of a successful Brics summit.

Usa-Africa summit,
Where fifty four African presidents
were forced to attend " If you don't come
You will face consequences."
Huh?
Hahaaah! Hahaaah!
modern colonisations
A big blackmail which millions
Of Africans cannot
Continue to Accept.
African presidents found voiceless
As they did not have much time to express
Their thoughts
Which turned to be problems
To bring back to Africans.
They just shot thousands of photos
and videos with many USA top leaders
And brought them to people at home
than solutions.
This is not something to laugh at,
Very sad,
Sadly world friends.
Majority Africans always played
Here and
There
Till when?
I always witnessing the lack of goodwill.
How can fifty four representatives
Of billion Africans be played.

When they heard it screamed a 'Damn it!'
One of them had dared to submit
That Charles, Incurable Hermit,
Chair their forthcoming First Summit
"I'm not shocked, his own dad Hermit:
Why wouldn't he such views permit?"
More screams of 'Bull !' and 'Damn it!'
Didn't George reckon that summit.
To hermits is outside their remit
Not like to a kin cash remit
And face a life of self-limit...

Skiing can be so much fun when the snow is light and the weather cold, with
Kitten soft mitts on my hands & skis on my feet I'm ready for the summit
Icarus moments on a hill is all I need, if its a snowy week then I will plummet
I love the winter months, they give me a chance to practice my kangaroo flip it
No greater sport than skiing I say, catch a cab on the double and get to it. I'm
Going to take a break from the mundane today, or I much rather ski than sit.

Atop Ole Everest
mountaineers delight
Your souls she can take
In darkness of night
Her vengeance and beauty
Are one in the same
With wildness in her
She’ll never be tame
Almost to summit
So close to her peak
Climbing on north side
Your soul she seek
Her fury has gripped you
You know you may die
You try to be fearless
But that’s just a lie
Now you test fate
Push towards her summit
With fading of light
The temperatures plummet
Zone of death
Now you prepare
No breath can you catch
Way up in thin air
Up on her summit
Can’t stay very long
For if you do
To her you’ll belong
When she makes her choice
And she chooses you
With her wrath and her fury
Not much you can do
To live or to die
Your willing to chance
Eternally tangled
Her deadly romance
Rainbow of colors
Spread wide thru her valley
Now you lay there too
And add to her talley
So before you leave
Hold your loved ones tight
For there is great chance
She claims you that night
If she is hungry
For your soul that day
They’ll already know
On her mountain you’ll stay

Regardless of the steps you take,
they all have been ordained.
The myriad of things we do
must keep Him entertained.
We could not scale the gap to Him,
and so He did descend;
He let us cast our cares on Him,
our shepherd and our friend.
The Rock is on the mountaintop;
He’s also at the base,
and whether you are high or low,
He’s likewise in that place.
So, Daughter, do not fret the task;
just go and have great fun.
Relax among the stars with Him;
the summit has been won.

The spiritual mountain is an arduous climb.
Just keep looking up. Don't glance at behind..
It's bound to get tougher the higher one goes.
Be careful where you step and grasp with those toes..
Climb above this world with it's problems and hatred,
as you strive to keep your thoughts positive and sacred..
When the climb makes you weary deep to your soul,
keep those eyes on the summit, that ultimate goal..
